Overview

In this session, we will refresh our understanding of the "TPACK" model and how it can grow capacity targeted at planning, implementing, and assessing of digital learning activities.

Learning Outcomes

After this session, participants will be able to:
  • Reflect and articulate the value and challenges of effective learning experiences supported by TPACK and reflecting on what the TPACK model will look like in your school/district


I. TPACK 2.0 | Refreshing our TPACK Lens

TPACK goes beyond looking at each of these areas (Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge), in isolation, rather it tries to explore the complex relationships between each of these types of knowledge. Most importantly, it encourages educators to explore and understand these relationships. If an educator has a grasp or understanding of these relationships, it is more likely to lead to effective and purposeful technology integration.

We can all agree that these concepts are nothing new, but the conversations exploring the relationships between these
three areas are essential.
